But she’s come out the other side, and says 2016 already looks like a better year, as she joked about her wedding date tattoo on her back. And her reason for getting a moth inking to cover it up deserves a hat tip.

Confirming the divorce is not yet finalised, the 30-year-old actress told Ellen: ‘Yes, I’m getting divorced. You know, last year was very bizarre and we all go through really weird ups and downs.

‘And sometimes I’m a little bit more seen. And everyone goes through that stuff.’

‘I already feel like 2016 is going to be a much better year than 2015. And you know, it’s been rough, but things are going good. I’m much, much better now. I’m in a much better place than I was.’

When Ellen then asked how long the marriage lasted, to which Kaley awkwardly replied, ‘Not that long, a year-and-a-half’, she added: ‘I know. I know. I know. I had the date tattooed on my back and everything to remind me. I know. I know. Don’t tattoo wedding date. I know. I know.’

Explaining her new inking, which she had done at the end of last year, she continued: ‘The tattoo was a mistake. I had to cover it.’

And on why she chose a moth, of all designs, she said: ‘Because it was big enough to cover the numbers – the big wings. It’s just what I picked out when I was there.’

Kaley also talked about The Big Bang Theory celebrating its 200th episode this week…

‘I cannot believe that we have turned 200 – we’re very old! It’s been a lot of years, the fans have been amazing. We just shot the episode and it was incredible. Johnny (Galecki, who plays Leonard Hofstadter) and I started crying thinking about how special it was and what it meant to us.’

And when asked about how it feels looking back at earlier episodes, Kaley added…

‘I cry for the memories but I cry for the decisions on my hair and some questionable clothes. Nine to ten years is a long time – styles change, hair changes, size, body – everything’s just going downhill.’
